How do you work around the white screen in compiz? I had the lock-up
problem in Gutsy which I worked around in compiz with the SyncToVBlank
setting (see my posts above), but I've started having the white screen

I'd like to confirm this bug on Gutsy amd64 (nvidia 6100) with compiz-fusion
running. This looks like a compiz-fusion issue
as this simply does not occur with metacity. With compiz-fusion running it is
simply not possible to work with multiple users. The only option is a hard
reboot.

An easy workaround just occurred to me.
Is it possible to automatically switch to metacity when calling either
switch-user, lock-screen, or log-out? As long as we can do that, and
invoke compiz automatically when logging in then this bug will be a non-
issue while we wait for compiz, nvidia, and
If this bug has been definitively attributed to xorg then I apologize
for implying confusion as to its source. I've been primarily reading
other bug reports documenting similar behaviour and they are fairly
evenly split between attributing it to compiz, xorg or quite often

The invisible login prompt is a similar but different bug. I've come
across both. The initial bug froze the computer completely and required
a hard reboot. I've not experienced this problem since I adjusted the
SyncToVblank setting in compiz. I do occasionally get the invisible
login prompt and
Once you're at the $ prompt doing:
sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
(or kdm if you're using kubuntu) should get you your graphical login window
again.
